<title>Description</title>
<para><command>run0</command> may be used to temporarily and interactively acquire elevated or different
privileges. It serves a similar purpose as <citerefentry
project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>sudo</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>, but
operates differently in a couple of key areas:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>No execution or security context credentials are inherited from the caller into the
invoked commands, as they are invoked from a fresh, isolated service forked off by the service manager.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Authentication takes place via <ulink
url="https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/polkit">polkit</ulink>, thus isolating the
authentication prompt from the terminal (if possible).</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>An independent pseudo-tty is allocated for the invoked command, detaching its lifecycle and
isolating it for security.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>No SetUID/SetGID file access bit functionality is used for the implementation.</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>Altogether this should provide a safer and more robust alternative to the <command>sudo</command>
mechanism, in particular in OS environments where SetUID/SetGID support is not available (for example by
setting the <varname>NoNewPrivileges=</varname> variable in
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-system.conf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>).</para>
<para>Any session invoked via <command>run0</command> will run through the
<literal>systemd-run0</literal> PAM stack.</para>
<para>Note that <command>run0</command> is implemented as an alternative multi-call invocation of
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-run</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>. That is,
<command>run0</command> is a symbolic link to <command>systemd-run</command> executable file, and it
behaves as <command>run0</command> if it is invoked through the symbolic link, otherwise behaves as
<command>systemd-run</command>.</para>

<title>Options</title>
<para>The following options are understood:</para>

</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--property=</option></term>
<listitem><para>Sets a property of the service unit that is created. This option takes an assignment
in the same format as
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>'s
<command>set-property</command> command.</para>
<xi:include href="version-info.xml" xpointer="v256"/>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--description=</option></term>
<listitem><para>Provide a description for the service unit that is invoked. If not specified,
the command itself will be used as a description. See <varname>Description=</varname> in
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
</para>

<varlistentry>
<term><option>--slice-inherit</option></term>
<listitem><para>Make the new <filename>.service</filename> unit part of the slice the
<command>run0</command> itself has been invoked in. This option may be combined with
<option>--slice=</option>, in which case the slice specified via <option>--slice=</option> is placed
within the slice the <command>run0</command> command is invoked in.</para>
<para>Example: consider <command>run0</command> being invoked in the slice
<filename>foo.slice</filename>, and the <option>--slice=</option> argument is
<filename>bar</filename>. The unit will then be placed under
<filename>foo-bar.slice</filename>.</para>

<term><option>--background=<replaceable>COLOR</replaceable></option></term>
<listitem><para>Change the terminal background color to the specified ANSI color as long as the

root, and in a yellowish tone when operating under another UID, as reminder of the changed

<para>All command line arguments after the first non-option argument become part of the command line of
the launched process. If no command line is specified an interactive shell is invoked. The shell to
invoke may be controlled via <option>--setenv=SHELL=…</option> and currently defaults to the
